Me neither, but this one is very special, also more recent than most, I think
Vintage French randonneuer's and porteurs.

To be pedantic, I would be reasonably sure this is listed under Racer "Course" in the Pug catalogue.

Rack mount seems solid enough to me.

I'm kidding of course, it looks good, and I get the attraction with that period Pugs, especially from the UK/US side, but I'd still not want one!
.....not half. No remorse Randonneur. None of this "Just whipping the rack off so I can enter a local race" nonsense. Love it.

Hello everyone! My good friend Dr. Dremel already sent a few photos. Here are some more.
These are my three randonneuses; all are probably mid-50s mid-range bikes. They were all shed-/barn finds from France and I re-built them while preserving the original patina.
Both the gents' Beha and the Mixte sport Nervex lugs and Le Cyclo components. You may read about the company's quite interesting history during WWII here:
http://noms.rues.st.etienne.free.fr/rues/raimond.html
The Peugeot is Team Simplex all the way through. I've upgraded it with a Simplex Competition front derailleur and a rather useless 52/48T chain wheel combination (I had the parts and was too lazy to get a more adequate set along with the fitting chain wheel screws).
Some interesting reads:

Afaik not if it's pre early 1960s when Vitus acquired Duri.
Prior to that they were an independent company producing butted and straight-gauge tube sets.
